Extra! Extra! New Questions For You!!!
Evening Loungers!!!
So, I haven't posted any real deep posts lately, nor have I reported on anything; however, I have posted some fun and "interesting" questions. If I don't post it here, some of you don't check my other blogs regularly.
You get the Paw Pimp Slap for this!
Now, definitely make sure you check out Husky Down Under and the Q & A: Doggy-Style page and leave yo' comments!

If you're going to answer questions - Answer them "Doggy-Style"
New Q & A: Doggy-Style Entry!
Word up fellow "Loungers!"
My Q & A: Doggy-Style section has seen about as much action as Jimmy Kicks' bedroom.
I joke! I joke!
I kid! I kid!
Let's get to it people. There's got to be a question that hits home - that hits the spot for ya'.
If so, answer away!
Love - That's A Rap!
Yo! Yo! Yo!
So your boy, the Husk-meister decided to do a song for his "Write-Gal" in the form of a rap.
It's the new video of the day - so check it out and comment here if you feel compelled to do so. I'm not exactly a rapper, but it's fun and creative - two things I enjoy being in life.
Remember - Husky's don't dance - We boogie!
New Section!! Q & A: Doggy-Style
Introducing - Q & A: Doggy-Style for you Loungers!!
Basically, every day I will be posting a question for you to answer. Some times we don't always have time to read full articles, but a question, now that doesn't take much time at all. I've done a lot of research and I have found that people do like to interact, but not everybody has the same attention span. In this way, by me adding this section, I can interact with each of you on various topics.
Keep in mind - anything that would be deemed sexual or related to relationships, you'll have to go to "Husky Down Under" for those. =)
***I went ahead and did a "Write Guyz Anthem". Oh yeah, I went there! There's going to be a whole song done, but in the meantime, check out a preview on my page.
Check it daily and participate!
Rams RB vs God's Oldest Warrior
Apparently Steven Jackson, (All-Star) Running Back for the St. Louis Rams does not have a clause in his contract which prevents him from doing dangerous things.
What type of things?
Oh, to name one - Shark Diving!!
As if going up the middle against the likes of LineBackers in the NFL such as, Patrick Willis, Ray Lewis, and Brian Urlacher isn't enough - Steven Jackson has also gone on Safari ride's in Africa.
Adventure much Mr. Jackson?
It would appear that he either has a death wish, or he is an adrenaline junky. Or, maybe he just enjoy living life to the fullest. After all, you can't be 100% okay in the brain to be playing for the St. Louis Rams.
About a month ago, Steven Jackson and company were boarding a boat in Capetown Coast at dawn en route to Seal Island. This is an island "The Write Guyz" will be touching on in our "Animology" section (coming soon - stay tuned!). It is also a location where Great White's are known to do a great deal of hunting. And so, as Steven Jackson and his party neared the Island, a shark jumped out of the water, as described by Jackson, "like something you would see on the Discovery Channel."
Wowsers!
I'm telling you guys now, if that had happened and I was present...I'd be changing my boxers just minutes after.
I am however, intrigued to look into what the Rams organization has to say about these "rendezvous" Steven Jackson likes to take. After all, he is their investment and if I were owner, I would not want my investment risking his life with such antics.
- What are your thoughts on this incident?
- What are your thoughts on whether or not the Rams organization should buckle down on him for such antics?
You can read the full story below.
What If...? (Gorilla vs. Leopard)
What up "Loungers!"
So, we're going to be bringing you an interesting segment on our main site (www.thewriteguyz.com) which has a hard launch date of 8/15/2010.
The segment will be titled "What If...?" and like the Discovery Channel has done, we too will give you our take on what it might be like if animals, who otherwise would never meet, were to square off "toe-to-toe".
For your visual enjoyment, I have put a video up on the right side of my page giving you an idea of the possibilities.
Video Of The Day: Feat. The Write Guyz
The Write Guyz arrived at Huntington Beach, CA at 6 a.m. on Saturday, July 17, 2010.
Why so early you ask?
That's the only way one can secure a beach pit, which by the way is required to be allowed to BBQ. And so, there we were. It's all good though, we utilized the time and had our weekly team meeting. I can honestly say, it was beautiful even that early and when amongst friends - what more can one ask for?
I took the liberty of putting together a little video for you all to see on the right side of my page.
Enjoy!
Love: Imperfectly Perfect
How does one love, when love impairs the mind?
Intoxicated soul leaves the eyes and judgement blind.
Is it possible to splice the heart in two to share as one?
Although misery loves company with no account of where one's from.
Now, does passion account for morals when it acts out of turn?
Yet, all too often we find the yearn does not solidify the burn.
Then why are we compelled to lust and live in disarray?
If you believe in God, it's simple - we owe it to that one eventful day.
How about if beliefs differ, and the answer is ambiguous, and vague?
When as human beings, all we've ever had to do was listen and obey.
I too have lived in such a paradox.
I too have struggled swimming in strife.
I surely know what's wrong.
Although, at times it feels like more so than I know what's right.
So how does one change the soul, heart, and mind in the blink of an eye?
One does not - like me - all one can do is try.
We live and love blindly, with flaws intertwined within our DNA.
Do our best to walk the path of righteousness and when we falter...
We say Good Day!
That's life right? It goes on - as do we. Truth.
Q & A: Husky Downs All Up In Ya'
It's that time again - maybe this time I can get some of you "Loungers" to actually answer the question at hand.
Don't be shy!!
If you are worried about your identity due to the intimacy of the question(s) I ask, leave your answers anonymously. If you're in this section of my Lounge, I would like to think you've come to play - so play.
As always - "Husky's Don't Dance - We Boogey!"
Get Your IGN Fix Here & Now!
Enjoy another episode of IGN.com feat. Jessica Chobot, the "Goddess Of Gaming", and all things relevant to electronics, and entertainment.
Jeesh, that's a mouthful.
That's What She Said!
Any who, as always, the video is on the right side. Enjoy!
3-D TV's Don't Make The Cut - (IMO)
I will start off by defining what the acronym, "IMO" means.
Definition: In My Opinion
I'm sure there are many of you out there who have separated yourselves from the text lingo that's become an integral part of today's society; not just amongst the youth. No easy feat, that's for sure.
Moving on...
So, Jimmy Kicks and I hit up a local Best Buy to see what they had going on. Jimmy hadn't seen the new 3-D Televisions in action and I thought it would behoove (Husky's word of the year) him to check them out for himself.
After checking out the various cameras, Apple products (new iMAC owner here - whoot! whoot!), and many other miscellaneous doo-da's and gadgets in the store, Kicks n' I, see a leather couch (that's how Best Buy roll's now-a-days) where the 3-D set up was. To our surprise, they had the movie Avatar playing. Must have been a special demo copy given to the store, because that movie - in 3-D - is not out yet. No siree-bobsky. Actually, it's not slated to be out until next year - if my "sources" are correct. It's all good though, I was stoked that it was on - I mean - what better movie to showcase the newest fad right?
Here's a quick "Play-By-Play":
- First thing we noticed when we arrived at the electronic's section in the store was the leather couch (bow-chica-wow-wow!), which was very reminiscent of the one at Jimmy Kicks' house.
- The second thing was the movie.
- Followed, by the large 3-D glasses sitting on the table in front of the Sony Television (name drop).
Or was it?
BUST ALERT!!!!
It took Jimmy all of 30 seconds with the glasses on (as seen in the image above) to recognize that this technology was nothing but hype and no more than the next technological fad. I put them on to confirm and without hesitation I concurred. While this is not a "formal" review of the 3-D technology, it still warrants 2 Dog Paws on "Husky's Dog Paw" rating system out of 5. Once ESPN 3-D kicks off, and some of the other 3-D bells and whistles, I intend to give the whole 3-D experience a full video review. This would encompass televisions, Sony's PS3, which will have 3-D movie and gaming capabilities (by September), as well as review the various satellite and cable providers whom are said to be bringing 3-D channels of their own.
You heard it here first though, Husky Downs is predicting that this 3-D fad will lost its luster by 2012.
***Disclosure***
The last statement was made as a statement in itself, with no barring to the fact that mankind, animal life, and civilization as a whole will cease to exist following the Mayan's prophetic words based on the Mayan Calendar.
Truth.
Stop The Press! New Video Blog Entry!
Yo! Yo! Yo!
Sorry, I've been slacking on my blogging; however, now that I'm up and running with my new computer - I'm good to go.
And without further ado:
Blog Entry Video can be found under "The Video Of The Day".
***NOTE****
As always, if you'd like to comment on the video, feel free to do so here or on the YouTube video itself.
Need Your Help Loungers!!
Go ahead and peep the video I've posted at the bottom of my page on the right side.
I'm in dire need of some assistance.
Thank you!
(Sorry Kicks, Chub n' Grip - You gotta peep the video)
Must See!!! Such A Great Trailer!!!
This trailer gets 5 dog paws without question!!!
"Mortal Kombat Re-Birth" which can be seen on the Video Of The Day.
A dude named "Kevin Tancharoen" made this as a potential trailer, and the studios have yet to pick it up.
Are you for kidding me? (meant to talk like that)
I'd love to hear your comments on this trailer, which, for you sake I hope you watch it in its entirety - it's that dope. You deserve to enjoy dope-ness. Come back and comment so we can try and figure out why this isn't in production!!
New Husky Downs 365 - Peep it!
It's back by popular demand!
Sorry "Loungers", there's so much going on, I haven't been able to post on here daily like I would like to. That said, I've been working on some ideas which will allow me to post a "365" every day. So definitely stay tuned.
In any case, I think I picked a good one. It's short, sweet, but to the point. I can assure you, it hits home with every single person on this planet. Bold statement - but I stand by it.
As always, enjoy and comment away!
Super Mario Bros. Beat-Boxer = Dope!!
Cult classic in full effect!!
If you don't know about Super Mario Bros. and the phenomenon that is Mario and Luigi, the only question I have for you is:
What planet are you from?
In any case, this dude on the video I posted on the right side of my blog has some serious skills, not only beat-boxing, but he does a montage of Super Mario Bros. melodies using just his mouth. It's actually quiet incredible.
Check it out!!
P.S.
4th of July Video - HD Video Of The Day
Happy 4th of July!!
I found some time, so I figured what the heck - I'll do a quick video for my peeps.
Hope all of you are enjoying the long weekend and spending it with friends and family. As for the video, just wanted to give my take on what the 4th means to Husky Downs. You see, like my partner and good friend Chub Johnson, the 4th of July has grown to mean more as I have gotten older. Essentially, this is the first year in which it means more to me than it ever has. I think I can speak for him when I say he shares in this sentiment.
In any case, peep the video on the side and enjoy your evening.
Remember - do not hold those little ones in your hands. Soon as you light it, let it go!!
New Husky Down Under Posting - Enjoy!
Evening bloggers and "Loungers!"
I wanted to make sure I'm keeping you all up to date with the latest and greatest, so here you go - a new posting in the "Down Under" section of the "Lounge".
Now, to date I haven't gotten many comments, but I have seen many people stop by. I just wanted to thank those of you who check it and I encourage you to comment. Especially on the posts in which I ask a question. I would love to interact with each and every one of you, so don't be shy.
Husky Down Under is not for the shy. As a matter of fact, if you are new and have no clue what (HDU) is about, there's a post on there (it's the first post at the bottom) which explains the thought process behind me creating the page.
Got it?
As always, enjoy the music on there - if you are into R&B and slow jams of course.
Fantasy Football Prep Done "Write"
It's almost that time again, Fantasy Football is just around the corner.
Are you ready?
Grip Johnson and I, we plan on bringing you advice and insight every week once the season begins; however, in the meantime, we thought we would give all of you an idea of what exactly we intend to bring to the table.
With several Championships under our belts (combined), you will find us to be quite formidable when it comes to fantasy football. This is why we strongly recommend you watch our videos weekly.
That is of course, if you have any hopes of becoming a Champion in your respective league. If that is your goal, peep us out. You can start by checking out our "Pre-Fantasy Football Draft" video on the right.
HTC Evo vs iPhone 4 Video Is Hilarious!!!!
You guys have got to check out this video!!! It's freakin' hilarious. It's a parody on how idiotic people are for Apple products and the iPhone to be exact.
Guess what?
I'm one of those idiots!!! Love my iPhone!!!
Any who, check out the video, it's on the right side near the bottom.
New Husky Downs Lounge Video Intro!!!
Happy Saturday my fellow "Loungers!"
So, I decided to re-do my intro video and make it a little bit more Husky Downs-ish; a little bit more me.
Check it out and feel free to leave your comments on this post.
Enjoy your weekend and as always - check out the rest of the "Write Guyz" in the Dog Pound.
Peace and Happy 4th!
Q & A: With The Husk-Man
Q: Do you feel masturbation is a normal part of being human (male or female) or do you find it repulsive?
A: The Husk-ster thinks it's a part of life. That's the general answer. To get specific, I think for males, it's all in a day's work. After all, we are a walking, talking cesspool of hormones and testosterone. Just short of punching holes in walls, going to the gym, or actually having sex, how else are we to release the tension?
"Masturbation: the primary sexual activity of mankind. In the nineteenth century it was a disease; in the twentieth, it's a cure." - Thomas S. Sazasz

Extra! Extra! - Husky's New Video Is Out!
Evening "Loungers"!!
So, I decided to post a video talking about the NBA free agent frenzy which began July 1, 2010. I'm actually touching base on some developments and some thoughts based on today's events.
If you aren't an NBA fan, I'm sorry, this isn't for you. However, if you're a Husky Downs fan - it's worth a watch at least once.
I intend to bring you random videos talking about random things going on every so often - so check the site often!
You can find the video in the bottom right corner of my page. As always, if you have any comments, please feel free to come back and comment. In this case, I would love those of you who care about what is going on in the NBA, to come back and comment.
Thanks!
Extra! Extra! - Husky's Rap Career Has Surfaced!!
Yo! Yo! Yo!
So, I was going through some old boxes and stumbled across a couple songs I did with a couple friends of mine from high school. We were trying to become rappers.
"Mic check! Yo!"
We started back in 1997 - 2001 if my memory serves me correct. It was your boy Husky Downs, War Emblem and Moody Blue. Moody was a part of his own R&B singing group called "Natural High", while War Emblem and I were called "Paradox". It was mostly he and I who ripped the mic, but on occasion we'd mix in some R&B and bring in Moody Blue. I'm sitting here laughing listening to these tracks I found. Boy did we think we could be the next Jay-Z and/or 50 Cent.
Any who, without further ado, I would like each of you to laugh at our silly attempt at trying to become rappers.
Down below in the left corner you will see "Husky's 1997-2001 Rap Career".
Go check it out and feel free to come back here and comment.
Winner Video - Hot New Track!!
Evening "Loungers" and guests!!!
So, I'll keep this short and sweet. I've posted the pseudo video and newest track "Winner" by Jamie Foxx feat. Justin Timberlake & T.I and it's a pretty bangin' track.
As always, the video is on the right side bar. Enjoy!!
4th of July - Stay Thirsty My Friends!!
As Thursday winds to an end, I sit here watching a re-run of "Vampire Diaries" which totally bites (no pun intended). I mean, the next season is weeks away, so this is a tease for a Vampire lover like myself. But any who, I'm sitting here and I can't help but think about the long weekend which lies ahead.
"Liberty is the right to choose. Freedom is the result of the right choice." - Anonymous
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth, upon this continent...
Oh, sorry - I kind of got carried away there. After all, as we all know, the 4th of July is right around the corner. Rather than bust out a post schooling everyone as to what the 4th of July signifies or go into detail about what it means to me, I am going to ask each of you out there the following questions:
- What Does The 4th of July mean to you?
- How do you intend to celebrate the 4th this weekend?
I'm sure many of you will be getting your BBQ on and there may be plenty of drinking going on. A little "Captain Morgan" action? Will you be the most "interesting man in the world" with some "Dos XX Equis"? How about a little of both? As seen in the picture above.
Either way, whatever you do, remember to be safe, have fun, and if you will, take a moment at some point this weekend, to appreciate the country we live in!
Regardless of who our President is and how you feel about him - things could always be worse.

F*** Boston Celtics! Lakers 2010 Champs Video!!
Okay, so the Lakers won the title a couple weeks ago. I get that, but the fact that they beat the Celtics continues to make this 16th title that much sweeter!!
Many of you may have already heard the song I posted, but for those of you who have not heard it - listen to it!!
Go Lakers!!!
F*** the Celtics!!!
Yeah, I said it Jimmy Kicks!!! I know you won't go and peep it, so I thought I'd give you a nice shout out here.
Figured I'd get this in before July 1, 2010 when all you're going to hear on ESPN or Sports News is about Lebron James.
The video is on the left hand side - go peep it! Next year, 3-Peat and L.A. ties Boston for rings!
Entourage Returns - Let's Chat!
[Spoiler Alert!!]
DO NOT READ THIS POST!
So let's re-cap what happened and discuss.
Here we go:
- Turtle has his own business with banging mamacita's (a.k.a. women).
- Drama still can't find a job.
- "E" has his crap together and things are looking good between he and Sloan.
- Vinnie's director punks him into doing his own stunts and Ari and company freak out.
- Loyd is still gay.
- Ari put the "infamous" paint ball gun up on the wall in his office (did you catch that?).
- Turtle thinks he's rico suave and tries to kiss his employee (recognize her from the recently cancelled show, "Heroes"?), but ultimately gets shot down, and it consequently causes her to quit.
- Vinny sucks at his own stunts, but does it nonetheless.
That pretty much sums it all up. Damn, the show is still way too short. I wish it were longer.
In any case, here is the question I have for you followers based on a theory I have:
Q: Will Vinnie Chase re-ignite his career by becoming an actor who does his own stunts?
A: I say yes, this is going to be something he embraces, which will ultimately propel him back
to the platform we all have grown accustomed to.
What do you think?
Husky & The Guyz At The Zoo
So, we decided to set up shop at the Zoo and do a quick video for you lovely "loungers".
We intend to do things like this every so often so as to bring you into our experience. In the future though, you're going to see better videos - mainly - because we intend to bring them to you using the new iPhone 4.
Can I get a Shiaooo!!
In any case, feel free to check out the video on the side. Like the other, unfortunately, this video is also Chub-less.
Jimmy Kicks Video Is Up! Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
What a birthday it was for Mr. Kicks. Chub, wish you were with us bud.
There's some-what of a break down on Jimmy's page, which can be found by clicking on his link on my side bar titled "The Dog Pound." It isn't too elaborate though, and definitely doesn't capture the essence of the day or the evening.
Don't fret, I will do my best to pick up and fill in where Jimmy left off - I will do so later tonight.
Nonetheless, the video is on the side bar - enjoy!
Happy Birthday Jimmy Kicks!!
The big 33 for Mr. Kicks, and no I am not talking about Larry Bird.
Seems like only yesterday I met "Jimmy" at the Auto Club (AAA) in Costa Mesa, CA. Like so many people I've befriended over the years, I stole him from a mutual friend. What can I say? I've got this gravitational pull (think Star Wars: Death Star) and I can't help it if people want to orbit around this planet (I'm pointing at my belly by the way).
In any case, this isn't about me. This is about how I met Jimmy just over 5 years ago, yet it feels like we've known each other since birth.
"Awe...tear, hug, kiss and cuddle."
Jimmy and I have worked together at 3 different companies in that time span and while it doesn't show a great track record for us, the one thing that remained a constant was we always seemed to gravitate towards each other. Even today, we work at the same company and I am honored and proud to say, The Write Guyz simply would not be without him. Yes, it is true my fellow "Loungers", he is the condom to my wallet, the skid mark to my white underwear, and you got it friends, Jimmy is the wart to Lindsay Lohans vagina.
You get the point.
I just want the world to know I truly appreciate this man as one of my best and closest friends. I don't really like"titles", but if I had to label him, I wouldn't and if you knew him and he had a say in it, he wouldn't want to be labeled. Jimmy Kicks is in a class all by himself as far as Husky Downs is concerned.
Warning: Potential "Mas Puto" moment coming.
You know how they say, for every good man there's an even better woman? Well, as we forge forward with our business and you see the various entertainment we intend to throw at you - just know that the reason it's all possible is largely due to this man. Largely due to his hard work, hours of dedication, and willingness to help out his fellow partners with whatever they need help with.
Unless of course the baby mama, son, or Fresno calls; otherwise, he's down.
It's reasons like the aforementioned that made me feel like I owe him a small tribute on the Lounge. I know I speak for Grip Johnson, Chub Johnson, and even that lone wolf War Emblem when I say - I am grateful that 33 years ago the whiteness that is "Jimmy Kicks" was born.
Happy Birthday Mr. Kicks!!
Now stop messing around reading my blog and get back to working on our web site!!!
Q & A: With The Husk-Man
I've decided to implement a Q & A session on each of my blogs. Every so often I will pose a question, and I would appreciate if each of you "Loungers" would participate by giving your answers to the question.
I'm going to give my take on the question as well, so in this way, it'll be fully interactive.
Keep in mind, when one Q & A is posted, there will be a Q & A on both, Husky Downs 365 & Husky Down Under. Make sure you check them both.
In case you haven't seen the two images for my sub-blogs, make sure you check them out on the left side-bar.
This is Husky Downs saying - "Husky's Don't Dance, We Boogey!"
Michael O'Brien - Producer Of Great YouTube Video
Who is Michael O'Brien?
What is this YouTube video I speak of?
If you look on the side of my page, it's the music (rap) video titled "All Because Of Me" just under the Husky Downs video intro.
As for the who, Michael is a co-worker of mine who graduated from Cal Poly in Pomona, CA with a degree in music production. Something like that. Bottom line, this dude's got some skills with media and if you watch the video, you can see how goofy the video is, but you can also see the skills.
Here's a quick synopsis of what the video is about:
Essentially, the people in the video are friends of his and the two people (male and female) who start the video out sitting on the bench, they're now married. In the video however, it's a spoof about how the guy dressed in black (Joseph Tata) in the video introduced them. I believe the way the story goes is, they all go to the same church, and classic hook-up tale. Person introduces girl to boy and boy to girl and the soul mates become one. They wanted to do a spoof about how the only reason they got together was because of the fact that they were introduced to each other buy guy in black (Joseph Tata).
It's my understanding that they showed this video at their wedding.
***The reason it has subtitles is because she is Philippino and it is so her family can understand, since the video is in English.
It's worth watching in its entirety. The hook is actually pretty damn catchy. I was singing that damn thing all day today at work.
"You're gonna get some, and it's all because of me!"
In any case, keep an eye out for Michael O'Brien. The sky's the limit for this kid.
Husky Down Under - Intimate, Sexy, Seductively Fun
Move over Hugh Hefner, there's a new Sherif in town who goes by the name of - Husky Downs.
That's right "Loungers" you get yet another part of the Husk-Man to explore. Only on this expedition, I intend to explore you in return.
As my fellow "Write Guy", Grip Johnson would say, "Hey Now!"
Of course, it would be in a Barry White-esque, turn off the lights, slip out the nighty, and hope for your sake fella's, no tighty whitey's, baritone voice.
You won't find any nudes here (sorry fella's), but the experience will entice your mind all the same. I guarantee it.
So make sure you make "Husky Down Under" a part of your daily diet. You never know, you just might learn something.
WTF!! A Condom With Attitude?
The goal no man wants to put his ball in - or anything else for that matter.
Dr. Sonnet Ehlers has created something far worse than an atomic bomb, chemical warfare or even AIDS. Inspired by a woman who was raped, this doctor has created a monster - a condom for women with jagged teeth!
Is it not bad enough that braces for teeth exist?
Reportedly, 30,000 of these penile piranhas, made by Axe are currently being distributed at the World Cup in South Africa. So if any man thinks he can rape a woman in South Africa, he'd better have a Kevlar "cock-a-saurus rex" or he's going to get cut worse than Freddy Kreuger profusely scratching his crotch.
As if the condom having jagged teeth is not enough, the condom is made to latch onto the penis, while cutting it up, and the only way it can be detached is by going to see a doctor. Obviously, in this way, it would help catch such men who attempted to rape a woman. The good doc has said that after the World Cup, he plans on selling these condoms for $2 each.
So much for only having to worry about Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD's) and braces gentlemen.
Here's the full article for more details.
What Father's Day Means To Me
Spending the day with a beautiful woman who was both Mom and Dad to me since the day I was conceived defines Father's Day to me.
"God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers." - Proverb
I was birthed from an angel, but conceived by one of Satan's mignons. Love truly is blind and really, who would have thought that the "perfect" couple in High School (Star Athlete and Prom Queen) would birth a child, only to fall victim to the statistics and ultimately find themselves in uncharted murky waters? I mean, doesn't the general consensus by society teach us that love is supposed to be enough to make a relationship last?
Hardly fact by any stretch of the imagination I have come to learn in life.
In any case, needless to say, at the age of 2 years old I was without a biological father and my mother "chose" to raise me by "herself."
Two things I would like to focus on for a quick second are as followed:
- Like so many unfortunate children in this world who have been abandoned, my mother did not have to raise me once my father bailed. Therefore, I used the word "chose" instead of the words "was forced" by design.
- While my mother did raise me predominantly by herself, my grandparents played a major role in helping her get through the tough times. If she were lost at sea, they were her compass.
If I wanted to lie to you readers, I would sit here and tell you that I was the perfect kid and that raising me was easy. Suffice to say, I was quite the challenge; to be honest, I still am today. Still, despite my mother busting her ass at work and having to sacrifice furthering her education to raise me, she is the prototypical success story. She has gone from "rags" to riches and by riches I am not talking about money alone. There are so many ways in which she has been blessed and is wealthy beyond decimal points and zeros. As they say, "the Lord works in mysterious ways" and for the 31 years which I have been in existence, I have been the antithesis of most of the stereotypes which come with being an only child. I have stayed out of trouble and away from drugs. Sure, I had girlfriends at a young age; however, I have not gotten any girl pregnant. Now if you would please excuse me, I need to find some wood to knock on right quick.
"Knock! Knock! Knock! Knock! And one more for good measure - Knock!"
All of this is a credit to the fact that my mother transcended any and all paradigms of a single parent by allowing God into her heart - to give her the strength and guidance to keep me grounded - while also letting her parents (my grand parents - duh) guide her through life accordingly. While I could be worse off than I am, I am not because my mother was a damn good mother and father all in one.
She was like a churro with caramel inside - what a damn good combo!
Conversely, I could also be better off than I am, however, the fact that I am not is my own fault. Lord knows my mom has given me every opportunity to go to school and to better myself financially. It is my own stupidity and immaturity that when she told me to go left - I went right.
After all, isn't that how children are supposed to be? Aren't we supposed to rebel?
As I woke up this Father's Day, it was without hesitation that I knew I wanted to be with my mom. We enjoyed menudo and pozolle from "El Tepeyac" in West Covina, CA and had a nice talk about everything going on in my life and in hers. She and I butt heads all too often, but all-in-all I can honestly say that my mom is my best friend. You see, my grandfather played an extremely important role in keeping me grounded as well; after all, he was the closest thing to a father - next to my mom - that I had. Once he passed away a piece of me went with him, yet, I remained strong and grounded because my mom, to this day, remains both mom and dad. If anything happens to her I lose more than a mother. I lose more than a father. I lose my closest and best friend.
Straight up.
So as we watched "Valentine's Day" the movie today, had lunch, ran errands and I beguiled her into joining the Apple family by purchasing an iPod Touch, I caught myself getting a frog in my throat as they say. For it's moments like today that epitomize my mother as the role model so many at her work see her as and furthermore, it is days like today that quantify my love for her in my mind, to my heart, and within my soul; yet, still I struggle to codify the words to express the level of appreciation I have for her. Truly my fellow "Loungers" the one I need to thank is God for giving me the mother/father that I have.
So what does Father's Day mean to me?
It means I get to hang out with the only woman who has ever loved me unconditionally, while forgetting the fact that I did not have a dad around as I grew up.
As for a father figure, I had that in my mom, and in my grandfather, and so much more.
"All women become like their mothers. That is their tragedy. No man does. That is his." - Oscar Wilde
What does Father's Day mean to you?
I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic.
Buffalo Inn Restaurant: 3 Paw Establishment
It is with great disappointment that I have to give The Buffalo Inn a 3 Dog Paw rating. I have been here several times and not once have I thought about reviewing it; however, now that I have a forum to share my experiences, I decided to do so.
Loungers, what was once a deliciously entertaining environment with equal food to match - has since turned into a poor man's elk's lodge with barely legal teen waitresses straight out of the 8 Mile film starring Eminem. The only thing they needed was a pack of cigarettes tucked under the sleeves of their shirts and for a few of their teeth to be missing.
I apologize for coming down so hard on these girl who I'm sure are simply trying to make a living, but I just want to clarify exactly what I have issues with. Simply put, it's the fact that what was supposed to be a nice "Father's Day" dinner, ultimately turned into a lackluster experience 100% due to the customer service and overall ambiance the "Inn" provided. The sad part was that I went with two people who had never been there and the idea was to introduce them to "the home of the buffalo burger". The other part that plays a role in me coming down so hard is the fact that in my previous experiences, I have had similar issues. If the buffalo burger wasn't so darn good - I wonder if I would even return at all...?
Buffalo Burger:
Extremely tasty burgers, lean-mean-tasty with cheese and green, literally made from buffalo meat.
If you're a vegetarian, you will learn not to read my restaurant reviews due to the fact that 99% of the time I will be writing about food's with meat. That other 1 % will likely involve some dish that probably was made with some ingredient that a vegetarian otherwise would not partake in.
I'm a meat monster, what can I say.
One fun part about this restaurant worth mentioning is on Saturday evening's they have live bands. The set-up before you enter their restaurant which looks like a lodge in Big Bear Mountain resembles a camp ground. There's an area out front designated for the band to play and many tables with heat lamps for those cold windy nights. There is a fire pit which adds to the ambiance. I mean, even as you enter the lodge the rustic, gritty axe-man look decorated with wood tables, an old wooden bar and pretty much wood, wood, wood makes you feel like hair is quite literally growing on your chest and face with every step you take. It is the quintessential pyromaniac's playground. You definitely want to tell ghost stories around the fire pit and eat smore's, not burgers when you walk in. It's cozy though and has all the makings of an awesome first date location - as far as ambiance is concerned.
Suffice to say, on the eve before Father's Day, the facade came to a screeching halt as the waitress gave me and my family a fake smile and casually - while engaged in another conversation told us we can sit wherever we wanted to sit. Apparently our business was not worthy of an eye glance at a bare minimum on a night where the majority of the customers were outside enjoying the band. To be exact, there was only a family of two and another family of three inside.
To be noted:
The band played various rock renditions and were very good. One of the band member's was female and she was slapping the bass very well. Unfortunately, I did not catch their bands name.
Rather than walk you thru the entire evening, I will break it down for you below. This is what exactly transpired which ultimately led to the rating I decided to give this place.
- We asked for an extra cup of chili beans and cheese and they forgot it. We had to remind them for it sometime later.
- We placed our order and it took just about an hour to get our food. This place specializes in burgers - not hard to make. They don't even have side dishes for crying out loud - their only that comes with everything is a side of home made chips.
- When we got our order, 3 of the 4 orders were completely wrong. When I explained to the young girl in daisy dukes with a belly popping out of her way too short florescent tank top, rather than just take my order and apologize graciously, she tried to explain what "may" have happened. She even went as far as to find the order ticket to verify if there was a mistake on my part - all while I'm holding the food waiting for her to take it out of my hands and fix it. Customer Service 101 - Customer is right. Just take the order, fix it and worry about who was wrong later.
- As the waitress kissed her boy friend on the lips - presumably her brother or uncle - she proceeds to hand me my food. I put a fake smile on and say thank you (mind you I'm eager to check my food before I put it in my mouth - I saw the movie "Waiting" I know what's up) and she doesn't even make eye contact with me. She just handed it to me and turned and walked away.
- As we finished eating, we had to go seek the waitress out to pay. At this point there was only a family of four downstairs and three girls already eating. The other waitresses and waiter were at a table near the stairs talking trash about people leaving tips. To be exact one of the waitresses said, "It's bullshit. If they sign you should just put in the tip amount you want if they haven't crossed out the tip area." Are you kidding me? I actually kick myself for not telling their management something. Red down arrow for Husky Downs on that account.
Now, if you knew me or know me and my personality, I'm a pretty laid back guy. I tend to just go with the flow and the many times that I've been out and my food comes back wrong - I usually deal with it. On this night though, The Buffalo Inn was at a disadvantage as I had intended to review it from the moment I walked in. Everything mentioned above would turn out to be Strikes 1, 2, 3 and several to carry over to the next game. Not a great showing on their part. One thing I realize in writing this is that I owe it to my readers to give each of you my experience and to give you an idea of what you can expect when you visit. Don't get me wrong, the buffalo burgers when the waitresses do listen to the orders correctly are phenomenal; better than a regular burger by far. However, if I am to recommend this restaurant over the million others which do not have poor customer service, I would be doing you the readers a disservice.
The good:
- Great ambiance.
- Live band - solid entertainment factor.
- Awesome burgers for the burger lover in you.
- TV's to watch your favorite sporting event.
- Quaint location - rugged - but romantic.
- Half a block from a sex shop (you never know).
The bad:
- Inconsistant quality customer service.
The food:
- The french dip was delicious.
- The buffalo burger was tasty.
- The grilled cheese was - a grilled cheese. Can anyone really mess this up?
- The chili beans and cheese, chips and salsa was top notch.
The "Inn" has a few other items on their menu (i.e. hot dogs, chicken sandwiches etc.), but they specialize in hamburgers - buffalo burgers to be exact.
As I stated earlier, I have been here several times before and the experience has varied. It would appear that they've got some good apples and some bad one's as it pertains to their workers; however, that said, if you want to earn a 5 Dog Paw rating from me - you've got to be on your "A" game at all times.
You see my fellow "Loungers", my qualms are not with the food - simply with the level of service. The Buffalo Inn has 5 Paw potential, but until the management takes their customer service to a higher level, their restaurant merits 3 Paws from Husky Downs.
The Buffalo Inn is located at 1815 W. Foothill Blvd., Upland CA, 91786
Day 9 - Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
Without further ado, Day 9 has been posted and I think this is one everybody can relate to. I definitely am curious to see what everybody thinks and how many of you are honest about the ways in which you possibly also share in my sentiments.
Time to head out so here you go "Loungers!"
Taco Lita: 5 Paw Establishment
Unfortunately for many of you reading this, you will not have the privilege of eating at this hole in the wall due to your overall geographical disposition. My condolences to you and yours.
However, for those of you in Southern California, if you ever find yourself in or near Arcadia, CA and you fancy some Mexican food, Taco Lita is one restaurant you have got to stop and try. I had not visited this spot since 1997 and my experience today was just as I remembered it.
The Bomb.com!
As I pulled my lunch box (Scion Xb) into the driveway, I couldn't help but reminisce about my days as a Senior at Temple City High School. My buddy "War Emblem" was one of the few Seniors who actually had a car. A few of us would sneak out of fourth period earlier and we would run to the parking lot for lunch so that we can hop in the hoop-tie (Ford) and get to Arcadia for some delicious tacos and/or burritos. It was a mad dash because Arcadia High School was one block away, so we found ourselves trying to beat the rush. Of course I rode shot gun and I handled the lunch jams. I'd pop in thetape, press play and off we'd go bumping and bobbing (like Paris Hilton in a night vision goggled movie) to the sultry sounds of...
"So when we cross paths and I hope that's soon, I'm a boot yo' mutha' fuckin' ass to tha' moon."
Dollaz + Sense Album - DJ Quik
I kid you not people, these were and are no ordinary tacos. The ground beef used for their tacos and combo burritos has a flavor that is unlike anything I have ever had anywhere else. My mouth waters at the thought of them now only hours removed from inhaling a few tacos and a bean burrito. As for their hot sauce, it's not hot - rather - it is extremely flavorful. Think of a cherry on top of an exquisite piece of Tres Leche cake. That is essentially what their home made hot sauce is to their food. It's titillating to the palette to say the least.
Man, who talks like that? You see what this restaurant does to me?!?
Taco Lita described in bullet point:
- Delicious
- A tad bit over priced - but worth every penny
- Not greasy
- Exquisitely tasteful
- A guilty pleasure
- Simple Menu with minimal items
- Home made taco shells
- Friendly Customer Service
- Cash Only - ATM is inside though
Taco Lita is located at 120 East Duarte Road, Arcadia, CA.
***This restaurant is a Husky certified 5 dog paw establishment!!

"Winning takes talent, to repeat takes character." - John Wooden
My meeting began at 3:30 p.m. and was scheduled to end at 5:30 p.m. Luckily - for me, down the street is a restaurant, sports bar & grill that my company frequents so often it has its own nickname given by the Edison employees long before my time. The name is "GO5", also known as Charlie Browns in Rosemead, CA. You see the buildings on Edison's "campus" go a little something like this - GO1, GO2, GO3 & GO4. The code word for happy hour at Charlie Browns became "GO5". It was here that I witnessed the greatest NBA game of my life.
But I digress.
The lawyer walks in and to ensure he makes a grand entrance, he interrupts the meeting by saying, "Just living the dream" as he enters the room. Mind you, he does this literally every time he walks into a meeting. So annoying. The other thing to note is he was over an hour late to a 2 hour meeting. Also, annoying. Oh and for kicks, he is also ALWAYS late. Annoying! Annoying! Annoying! Any who, as I sit and go over the documents our small sub team had to review, I couldn't keep my eye off the damn clock.
"Tick-Tock!"
Remember when you were back in school and you couldn't wait for class to be over? It was something like that - only I didn't have to meet my girl friend out by the baseball field, in the back where nobody could see us. I wasn't rushing to get to basketball practice, nor was I counting down the minutes to head to "Taco Lita" in Arcadia, CA (Mexican restaurant that was and is the bomb.com). I was counting down to something much better than all of that - Game 7 of the NBA Finals. The stage was set for it to be an epic battle and the only thing standing between me and my game was a fat ass, smug underachieving lawyer.
Double ugh.
The meeting is usually four hours long and I kid you not, I have been in there when the team (lawyer included) is going over one paragraph for 2 hours changing words from "and" to "also" or "exemption" to "unnecessary". So bad I wish I could tell you that I am exaggerating - sadly I am not. These are important documents regarding the transmission projects I work on, but I mean, come on - really? Two hours one one paragraph?
Tripple ugh.
Just when I thought I wasn't going to be able to take it anymore I looked down and it was 5:20 p.m.. The game was scheduled to start at 6 p.m. (PST). Best believe I text my Project Manager whom was sitting 3 seats away (I was trying to be slick) the following message:
"Game time! Let's wrap this up like safe sex!"
Blah! Blah! Blah! The lawyer just kept on talking and talking. My boss couldn't even interject because this blood sucker was on a role. Suffice to say, the meeting ended at 5:50 p.m.!!!! My boss was just as eager to get to Charlie Browns, so we both began putting away the chords to the projector, my laptop etc. We literally ran up the stairs to our desks and headed back down three flights of stairs and out into the parking lot like an illegal immigrant in Arizona from a cop. I got to my car, hopped in, turned on 710AM radio station to hear the beginning of the game and booked it out of the parking lot and down the street.
My boss and I arrived at Charlie Browns and it was extremely packed. I'm talking packed like a fat man in a small under armor shirt packed. I had to park at Carrows restaurant and pray that my car wasn't towed - although - at the the time my mentality was so long as the Lakers gave me a Championship, whatever happened to my ride was worth it. Idiotic rational, but I mean come on Loungers, this was Los Angeles versus Boston - EPIC!!!!
So we walk in and wiggled our way to the back where other co-workers were sitting. I'd be telling lies if I said I wasn't close to getting all Ludacris (a rapper) on some people and throw some bows as I tried to get thru the crowd. Stupid ass holes. The bitches were hot though, so they would have gotten the forearm. The dudes - well they'd get full bow to the chin, chest - pretty much wherever I could connect. This was Game 7 folks!!!!!
Without giving you a play by play of the game, the Lakers were down by double digits and every Laker fan in the joint was on edge. By the 4th quarter it was pure chaos, madness it was INTENSE!!!! I was clapping hands, smacking five and chest bumping people I had never met more than a teen in a mosh pit. And then friends, that's when it happened.
"Missed shot by Rajon Rondo, Lakers rebound - that is going to be it folks - Lakers win!"
The announcer is ecstatically and emphatically describing what hundreds of us inside Charlie Browns had just witnessed. Sure my voice was gone from so much screaming and cheering, but it didn't matter. I didn't even think about my car and whether or not it was still in tact. I didn't care that I missed the 1st 3 minutes of the game or that the nachos were hot as hell and had been burning my lip and tongue all night. I swear you'd a thought I had just gone down on Lindsay Lohan the way I was burning. All in all my fellow Loungers, the only thing that mattered was that the Los Angeles Lakers had done it again - they won back to back titles and further more, won their 16th title.
My stage was chosen, the outcome was glorious and my evening was complete - I shed tears of joy (yeah, so what!) and was so proud to be in Los Angeles and even more happy to be a Los Angeles Lakers fan. I witnessed history amongst great company and for that moment in time saw the best in humanity. The Lakers have such an affect on people and I am proud that they have had such an affect on me.
Next to winning my Fantasy Football League, this was the best Championship I have ever experienced.
Thank you Kobe Bryant.
Thank you Ron Artest.
Thank you Pau Gasol.
And a BIG Thank You Derek Fisher for being the glue that keeps the hope and faith alive.
The Los Angeles Lakers are the 2010 NBA Champions. Back 2 Back with 16 NBA Championships!!!!!
Can you say - Re-peat of the Three-peat?
I would love to hear where you were and what your experience was witnessing history.
